Yesterday we reported that it seemed that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was designed in such a way to avoid any potential legal disputes with Apple. As it turns out, that wasn't entirely true according to Samsung's Executive Vice President of Product Strategy, Dr. Won-Pyo Hong. He was quoted as saying he had "no idea" as to how those rumors came about towards the end of the AsiaD conference.
According to Dr. Hong, the Galaxy Nexus was designed together with Google way before both Samsung and Apple started their patent war.
